TO    THE    PUBLIC. 


Tins  Work  is  prcparoil  ami  jircscntcd  to  the  PuMic,  owinj;  fo  tlie  great  ini- 
portiince  of  the  Lino  of  Railroarta  tiossinu'  the  ('niitiiieiit  iroiii  dillereiit  poiiita 
of  ourextciuleil  onuntry.  Tlic  coniiilition  of  tlie  Union  Pacific  Railroad  and 
Central  Pacific  Railroad,  in  May,  ISGli,  forniini;  a  Tlirouj^li  Line  of  Travel  from 
Oeoan  to  Oeean,  wsw  a  brij,'lit  event  that  will  be  forever  reineml)er(d  by  tlie  Ameri- 
can iinhlic.  Sinee  that  period,  tiie  Southern  Pacitlc  Railroad  and  Northeni 
Pacific  Railroad,  have  imth  been  eoninieneed,  the  one  to  terniinate  at  tlie  Pacific 
Oeean  in  Southern  California,  and  the  other  to  extend  froTn  the  head  of  Lake 
Superior  to  I'uget  Sound,  in  Wasliington  Territory — thus  nifonlinf,'  an  International 
cominunication  from  Oceiin  to  Ocean,  via  the  St.  Lawrence  River. 

The  Eastern  Cities  that  are  mostly  interested  at  this  time  in  these  prreat  works, 
and  from  whence  connecting  Railroads  diverge,  are  lialtimore,  Wa^liiiiifton,  I'liila- 
delphia,  New  York  and  IJostim ;  while  other  cities  in  the  Valley  of  the  Mississipin 
and  on  the  shores  of  the  Great  Lakes,  will  be  alike  benefitted. 

The  Raltimore  and  Ohio  Tlailroad,  Pennsylvania  Central  Railroad,  Eric  Railway 
of  New  York,  tin-  Uosion  and  Albany,  and"  N'W  York  Central  Railroads,  and  the 
Grand  Trunk  Railway  of  Canada,  anil  their  conneetions,  form  the  first  great  links 
in  this  Continental  Line  of  Travel,  extending  from  the  Atlantic  to  CmcAiio,  St. 
Louis  and  Omaha,  and  from  thence,  crossing  the  Rocky  Mountains,  to  the  Pacific 
Ocean.  The  recent  completion  of  the  Kansas  Pacific  Railroad,  extendin;; 
Westward  to  DliNVEK,  Colorado,  forms  another  great  Through  Route  of  Travel. 

From  the  principal  Seaports  on  both  Oceans,  Lines  of  Steamers  run  to  Europe 
on  the  East,  and  Asia  on  the  West,  thus  encircling  the  World  as  with  a  band 
ofiron— carrying  civilization  and  commerce  to  every  part  of  the  inhabitable  glolw. 
These  modes  of  communication,  in  c(ninection  with  Ocean  Lines  of  Telegraph, 
form  the  most  important  era  ii>  the  World's  history,  aud  ftill,  uo  doubt,  tend  to 
civilize  and  benefit  the  whole  human  family.

COMMENCEMENT  OF  RAILROADS 


IN   THE 


UNITi:i)   STATES. 


It  is  now  fortv  veam  since  the  com- 
pletion of  the  "first  Railroad  in  the 
United  States,  several  being  projected 
•xs  earlv  iis  1828.  To  the  late  IIknky 
S.  Ta.vskh,  author  of  a  "  Descr4)tio!i 
of  Canals  and  Railroads  in  the  United 
States,"  published  in  1840,  we  are  in- 
debttnl  for  most  of  the  following  relia- 
ble information. 

The  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Rail- 
ROAi.,  the  first  important  line  under- 
taken, was  incoriKjrated  on  the  28th 
of  February,  1827,  by  the  Legislature 
of  Marylaiid.  The  work  was  com- 
menced on  the  4th  of  .luly,  1828,  and 
fourteen  miles  opened  for  traffic  m  18:50; 
in  1331  it  was  extended  to  Frederick, 
(12  miles,  and  in  1832,  to  the  Point  of 
Rocks,  68  miles,  being  soon  thereafter 
opened  to  Harper's  Ferry,  81  miles 
from  Baltimore.  Until  1831  it  was 
operated  by  horse  power. 

The  Pennsylvania  Railroad, 
authorized  by  Act  of  the  Legislature, 
passed  March,  1828,  was  commenced 
as  a  State  work.  It  was  divided  into 
two  divisions,  and  known  as  PiiiLA- 
delvhia  and  Colitmbia  Railroad, 
81  miles  in  length,  and  the  Alle- 
oiiANY  Portage  Railroad,  30  miles, 
running  from  Ilollidaysburg  to  .Tohns- 
town,  across  the  Alleghany  Moimfaris^ 
The  latter  road  had  several  inclineu 
plains,  with  stationary  engines  to  facili- 
tate the  transportation  of  freight  and 
passengers,  conneiiting  at  each  termini 
with  the  Fennsylvania  Oanal  running 


between  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburgh, 
In  September.  1832,  twenty  miles  of 
single  track  was  ready  for  use  on  the 
Eastern  Division,  and  in  April,  1834, 
tlie  entire  route,  from  Philadelphia  to 
Oilumbia,  was  opened  for  travel. 
Total  cost  of  the  Philadelphia  and 
Columbia  Railroad,  $3,754,577. 

The  Alleoiianv  Portage  Rait-- 
boad,  wiiich  was  conpidered  a  great 
achievement  in  engineering,  attained 
an  altitute  of  2,490  ft.  above  the  Atlantic 
Ocean.  It  had  one  tunnel  900  feet  in 
length.  This  important  work  was 
commenced  early  in  1831,  and  finished 
in  March,  1834. 

The  MoiiAWK  AND  TTuDSON,  rim- 
ing from  Albany  to  Schenectady,  17 
miles,  was  commenced  in  August,  1830, 
and  completed  in  1832,  Iwing  the  first 
railroad  finished  to  completion  in  the 
United  States;  at  each  termini  wa-s  an 
inclined  plane  with  stationary  engines. 

The  Saratoga  and  Schenectady 
Railroad  was  commenced  in  1831, 
and  opened  July,  1832.  Length,  21 
niilcB. 

The  South  Carolina  Railroad 
was  commenced  in  1830,  and  62  miles 
of  it  finished  in  1832.  In  1834  it  was 
completed  to  Hamburg,  opposite  Au- 
gusta, Georgia,  136  miles;  at  the  time 
of  its  completion  it  was  the  longest 
railroad  in  the  world,  being  the  first 
upon  which  a  locomotive  engine  of 
American  manufacture  was  used.

RAILWAY  SYSTEM  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES--1871. 


ii»f 


The  Oreat  Trunk  Railways  of 
the  IJnitfiUStatesiiiiil  Canada,  witii  ilicir 
Connections,  which  are  made  subser- 
vient to  foreign  commerce,  tlowii, ;  from 
Kurope  on  the  East  and  Asia  on  the 
West,  diverge  from  the  principal  At- 
lantic ports  lying  within  the  Tempe- 
rate Zone,  and  i-xtend  across  the  Con- 
tuient  to  the  Pacilic  Ocean.  Otiier 
important  I.ines  of  Railway  run  from 
North  to  South,  forming  altogetiier  a 
complete  net-work  system  of  Railroads, 
extending  from  the  Atlantic  to  the 
Pacific  Ocean. 

Ualtimore,  Norfolk,  Philadelphia, 
New  York,  Boston  and  Portland,  are 
the  principal  sea-ports  from  wliich  the 
above  Ureat  Lines  of  commcrcediverge 
and  run  Westward.  East  of  the  Alle- 
ghany Mountains  there  are  now  liu- 
ished'/w  principal  Trunk  Railways, 
connecting  with  other  Lines  of  Rail- 
road running  to  the  Mississippi  River 
and  the  Cireat  Lakes. 

The  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Railroad,  with  its  Branches,  forms 
the  first  Great  Line  that  is  liiushed — 
running  from  tide-waters  at  Baltimore 
and  Washington  to  the  Ohio  River- 
there  connecting  with  Railroads  tra- 
versing the  Vallev  of  the  Mississippi 
and  the  basin  of  the  (ireat  Lakes.  In 
addition  to  its  terminus  at  Wheeling, 
West  Virginia,  379  miles  west  of  Bal- 
timore, it  has  a  Branch  nmning  to 
Parkersbnrg,  West  Virginia,  nnd  jvn- 
other  from  Cmnlierland,  Maryland  to 
Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  runningover 
the  Alleghany  Mountains,— tlius  m.ak- 
ing  tlirce  important  connccliois  with 
western  Railroad  Lines  running  !o  the 


Mississippi  River,  there  connecting 
with  thcCireat  Lines  of  Travel  running 
through  Kansas  and  Nebraska  to  the 
Pacilic  Ocean. 

The  PoiiiiHTlvaiiia  Cen- 
tral Railroad  forms  the  second 
Great  Line  crossing  the  Alleghany 
Mountains,  uniting  at  Pittsbiu-gh,  Hoi 
miles  from  Piiiladelpbia,  with  the  J'itl,f- 
huriih,Fort  Wai/ne and  Chicdf/o  Railroad, 
I'ittaburijh,  Cincinimti  <fc  St.  Loiii.t  11. 11., 
and  all  the  Trunk  Lines  of  Railways  in 
the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi,  and  those 
extending  westward  across  the  Conti- 
nent. This  Road  connects  with  the 
Northern  Central  Rnilmiij,  starting  froia 
Baltimore,  and  with  the  "Allentown 
Line,"  leaving  New  York  by  the  Cen- 
tral New  Jrrstij  A'diVrortt/,— both  uniting 
at  Harrisburg,  Pennsylvania,  —  thus 
forming  three  (ireat  Lines  of  Travel 
from  the  sea-board,  inaddiiion  to  its  con- 
nection with  the  I'hiladclphia  and  Erie 
llailroiid, — which  forms,  in  part,  iin  im- 
portant Line  of  Travel  from  Philadel- 
jiliia  and  New  York  t^>  Krie,  Pennsyl- 
vania,— there  connecting  with  Steamers 
running  to  the  dillerent  ports  on  Lake 
Erie  and  the  Upper  Lakes. 

The  Erie  Railway,  with  Its 

Branches,  is  the  third  Trunk  Line, 
forming  a  Through  Route  of  Travel 
from  the  sea-board  to  the  basin  of  the 
Great  Lakes  and  the  Valley  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi, It  starts  from  Jcn*ey  City,  op-

trol, forms  a  speedy  mode  of  ooiivey- 
ance  from  New  York  to  Cleveland  and 
Cincinnati,  Ohio,  -  connecting  with 
other  Railroads  running  to  Chicago, 
!St.  Louis,  &c. 

The  New  York  and  OswCRO 
midlaiKl  Uailroad,  now  ap- 
proaching completion,  will  form  an- 
other Through  Line  of  Travel  from  the 
City  of  New  York  to  the  Great  Lakes, 
having  a  double  terminus, — one  at  Os- 
wego, on  Lake  Ontario,  and  another 
at  Bufliilo,  on  Lake  Erie,— forming  the 
shortest  route  to  the  basin  of  the  Great 
Lakes  and  the  Valley  of  the  St.  Law- 
rence Biver. 

The  Iliidson  River  &  Wew 
York  Central  Railroad,  in 
connection  with  the  Boston  and  Al- 
bany Railroad  is  the  fourth  Trunk 
Line  extending  from  the  sea-board; 
forming  in   part   a   Through    Route 
of  Travel   from   the  Atlantic  to  the 
PacilicOceaii.  ThisimportantRailroad 
Route,  starting  from  New  York,  passes 
up  the  Valley  of  the  Hudson  to  Al- 
bany, and  from  thence  througli  West- 
ern "New  York  to  Bufl'alo  and  Niiigara 
Falls,  there  connecting  with  the  Lake 
Shore  Eailrmd,   and   with   the   Great 
Western  liailuay  of  Canada,  making 
close  connections  with  Lines  of  Rail- 
road running  to  Chicago,  St.  Louis,  &c. 
The  Great  Line  of  Travel  from  Boston, 
westward,  unites  at  Albany  with  the 
New  York  Central  Eailroad,  and  other 
Railroads  crossing  the  State  of  New 
York,   extending   to  the   Lakes   and 
Canada. 

The  Grand  Trunk  Rail- 
way of  Canada,  forming  the  fifth 
Trunk  Line,  controls  the  FyineofTravel 
running  from  Portland,  Maine  to  the 


Canada  Line.  It  extends  to  Quebec 
on  the  Lower  St.  Lawrence,  on  the 
North,  and  to  Montreal,  Toronto  and 
Detroit,  Michigan,  on  the  West,  con- 
necting with  all  the  Main  Lines  ol' 
Travel  running  to  Chicago,  Cincinnati, 
St.  Louis,  &c.  This  important  Rail- 
way, with  its  BiTiichcs,  is  the  great 
artery  that  furnishes  Canada  with  a 
speedy  mode  of  conveyance  from  the 
Atlantic  and  (iulf  of  St.  Lawrence  to 
the  Great  Lakes  and  Vallev  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi,— thus  forming  an  international 
thoroughfare,  passing  through  a  deeply 
interesting  section  of  the  Country. 

The  sixth  Trunk  Line,  approaching 
compleion,  is  the  Chesapeake 
and  Ohio  Railr«i>a<l,  running 
from  Richmond,  Viiginia,  across  llie 
Alleg'iany  Mountains  to  the  Ohio 
Rive/,  there  connecting  with  Railroads 
running  through  the  Valley  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi, forming  a  short  Line  of  Travel 
from  Norfolk,  on  tlie  sea-board,  to  Cin- 
cinnati, Louisville,  Memphis  and  St. 
Ivouia,  and  from  thence  to  the  Pacific 
Ocean. 

The  Great  Trunk  Railways  running 
West  of  the  Missis.«ippi,  and  crossing 
the  Rockv  Mountains,*  are  the  I'nion 
Pacific  Railuoad  and  the  Central 
Pacific  Railkoad,  forming  a  com- 
bined line  of  1,91 1  miles  of  Road,  ex-

Kansas,  46  miles  further.  It  is  an  old, 
well  built,  and  well  managed  Railroad, 
oifering  both  safety  and  comfort  to  the 
travel Ung  public.  Being  on  a  medium 
parallel  of  latitude,  (the  39th  south  of  the 
Missouri  River,)  and  forming  a  prin- 
cipal connecting  link  between  the  East 
and  extreme  West,  great  numbers  are 
constantly  passing  over  it,  and  ,the 
amount  of  passenger  business  done  by 
this  Road  is  much  greater  than  by  any 
other  Railway  of  the  same  length  west 
of  the  Mississippi. 
Through  the  Main  Line  of  this  Rail- 


road, its  Branches  to  Hoonville  and 
Li'xington,  and  its  connections  in  VVes- 
tcrn  Miasdiiri  and  Kansas,  immense 
quantities  of  produce  How  into  the  St. 
Louis  market  from  Missouri,  Kansas 
and  Colorado;  and  merchandise  of 
great  value  is  sent  out  from  tlie  same 
market  to  supply  the  wants  of  two  or 
three  millions  of  people. 

"  It  may  be  interesting  to  the  trav- 
eller to  know  that  the  average  si)««d  on 
most  of  the  Riiilroads  of  Missouri  does 
not  exceed  twenty  miles  to  the  hour. 
If  he  is  travelling  on  an  exi)re9s  or 
mail  train  west  of  the  Mississippi,  he 
can  approximate  very  closely  to  the 
time  by  dividing  the  distance  in  milea 
by  twenty;  the  result  will  show  the 
hours  very  nearly."

Atlanlicand  Pacific  Rall- 
road,  (formerly  South  Pacific.) — 
This  iaiportant  Road,  running  from 
St.  Louis  across  the  State  of  Missouri, 
was  commenced  several  years  since, 
but  suflcrcd  from  a  multitude  of  delays 
during  iU  early  organization.  It  is 
now  completed  to  the  Missouri  State 
Line,  380  miles  from  St.  Louis,  and 
has  become  one  of  the  great  thorough- 
fares of  the  Southwest.  The  Line  of 
the  Road  is  for  the  most  part,  through 
a  beautiful  section  of  country,  with  a 
fruitful  soil,  and  climate  as  genial  as 
that  of  Italy. 

The  Company  have  a  charter  for  a 
Roadfrom  Springfield,  Mo.  to  San  Fran- 
cisco, crossing  the  Continent  near  the 
35th  parallel,  which  is  considered  by 
many  as  'Jie  shortest  t  nd  most  desira- 
ble as  to  grade,  running  through  a  fer- 
tile  country  rich  in  agricultural  or 
mineral  productions  it"  entire  length, 
and  free  from  all  climatic  obstruc- 
tions— hence  in  manv  important  re- 
spects the  most  desirable  of  any  Route 
built  or  projected.  It  will  run  through 
the  Indian  Territory,  New  Mexico, 
Arizona  and  California  to  the  Pacific 
Coast. 

A  Branch  Boad  is  being  builito  ex- 
tend from  Pierce  City,  Mo.  to  Van 
Buren,  Arkansas;  a  distance  of  125 
miles. 

The  Land  Grant  at  the  disposal  of 
this  Company  is  very  large  and  valu- 
able. 


Kansa«i  Pacific  Hallroad. 

— Coj)ied  from  "Tkacy's  Uiide  to 
TiiK  (jtiKAT  Wkst."  This  important 
Road,  0iS8  miles  in  length,  traverses  the 
entire  State  of  Kansas  from  east  to  west, 
a  distance  of  420  miles,  and  pushes  on 
into  Colorado,  until  it  reaches  Denver, 
and  there  assuming  the  name  ot  Denver 
Padfie,  goes  on  a  hundred  and  six 
miles  to  Cheyenne,  Wyoming,  con- 
necting with  the  Union  Pacific  RiiiU 
road,  thus  forming  a  Through  Line  of 
Travel  from  Missouri  and  Kansas  to 
Colorado,  California,  <&c. 

No  other  agency  has  done  bo  much 
towards  making  Kansas  what  she  io 
as  the  above  Railroad.  The  present 
business  over  the  Road  ia  enormous. 
The  cattle  business  alune  is  very  great, 
and  constantly  increasing.  Kansas  is 
rapidly  becoming  the  great  source  of 
cattle  supply  for  the  east.  Along  the 
whole  Line,  towns  are  constantly  spring- 
ing up,  and  soon  become  thriving  seats 
of  trade.  The  Kansas  Pacific  has  put 
its  immense  land  grant  into  aiarket, 
on  the  most  favourable  terms. 

Perhaps  in  the  near  future,  the  great 
Kansas  Pacific  Railway  may  be  the 
chief  thoroughfare  across  the  Conti- 
nent. Already  the  Rocky  Moi<ntaina 
are  within  its  iron  grasp,  and  should 
it  decide  to  branch  at  Kit  Carson,  and 
sweep  along  the  35th  parallel,  its  loco- 
motives will  soon  be  whistling  a  wel- 
come to  the  Pacific  Coast, — even  now, 
with  its  present  connection  by  Denver 
and  Cheyenne,  with  the  Union  Pacific, 
a  great  share  of  the  travel  and  tralfio 
across  tHe  Continent,  will  undoubtedly 
take  this  Route.  Passing  through  the 
beautiful  valley,  and  over  the  rich 
prairies  of  Kansas,  with  the  newly 
opened  farms  on  every  side,  that  por- 
tion  of  the  trip  is  made  delightful,  ai.d 
as  the  western  border  of  the  State  ia

of  BulIUlo  and  Antelope  thronging 
along  liie  track.  After  leaving  Kansas, 
tlie  Railroad  passes  almost  due  west 
throngh  Colorado  to  Denver,  skirting 
the  etlgcH  of  the  noted  Pine  Kid^'es. 
Along  iu  path  throngh  Colorado  im- 
mense coal  fields  exists,  some  of  the 
veins  being  fonrteen  feet  in  thickness. 

Kansas  City,  the  western  termi-

Missouri  Railroad  from  St.  Lonis,  and 
the  Hannibal  and  St.  Joseph  Bailroad 
connecting  with  Chicago  and  Toledo, 
is  the  noint  where  trains  are  made  np 
every  clay  for  the  long  Konte  to  San 
Francisco,  via  Denver  and  Cheyenne. 
But  the  Kansaii  Pacific  has  another 
terminus  at  Leavenworth  City,  one 
of  the  largest  and  most  prosiKsrous 
and  beautiful  cities  in  Kansiis.  This 
Road  connects  with  the  Main  Line  at 
Lawrence,  another  important  station, 
where  the  Leavenworth,  Lawrence  and 
Odlveston  Railroad  unites  with  the 
former. 

"The  Kansas  Pacific  Railroad 
was  formerly  opened  to  the  travel  and 
business  of  the  country  on  the  Ist  of 
September,  1870.  The'tirae  from  Kan- 
sas City  to  Denver  is  thirty-six  hours. 
Tourists  and  pleasure-seekers  will  find 
this  a  preferable  Route,  as  they  will 
have  an  opportunity  to  see  the  rich 
and  productive  Valleys  of  the  Kansas 
and  Smoky  Hill  Rivers,  and  the  grand 
mountain  scenery  between  Denver  and 
Cheyenne."     

Running  Southward  from  Denver, 
the  Denver  and  Rio  Grande  Raid- 
way  is  being  built  to  connect  this  sys- 
tem of  Roads  with  the  arable  and  gra- 
zing Valleys  of  Southern  Colorado,  and 
the  great  mineral  dejiosits  of  the  tribu- 
taries of  the  Arkansas,  the  Pecos,  and 


the  Rio  (irando.  This  Road,  at  a  dis- 
tance of  80  milts  from  Denver,  reaches, 
at  the  foot  of  Pikes  Peak,  the  cele- 
brated S(xla  Springs  of  the  ''IJoiling 
River,"  which  arc  alreadjr  largely  .e- 
sorted  to  for  their  medicnial  virtues. 
Here  the  mineral  and  grazing  dis- 
tricU  of  the  South  Park  have  their 
outlet. 

Passing  southward,  130  miles  from 
Denver,  it  touches  the  town  of  Pueblo 
with  1500  inhabitants,  and  then  Caflon 
City  with  its  rich  coal  mines;  thence 
into  the  Rio  Grande  Valley  through 
the  vast  possessions  of  the  United 
States  Freehold  Land  and  Emigration 
Company,  which  are  being  settled  by 
General'  liiirnside  and  friends,  and 
near  the  rich  Maxwell  Land  Co.'s 
property, — one  gold  mine  of  which 
IS  netting  $120,000  per  year  to  ite  pro- 
prietors. 

Passing  through  Santa  F4  with  some 
6,000  people,  and  Albuc|uerque  with 
about  4,000  inhabitants,  it  will  be  ex- 
tended throiigh  the  line  of  towns  along

?2  miles,  and  the  Central  Pacific

ough  Line  of  Travel  across  the 
lent,  was  a  bright  event  that  will 
p  be  remernberetl  with  deliglit 

American  public.  From  Ocean 
^an  the  most  direct  Route  passes 
fh  thirteen  States  and  Territo- 
■  the  Union,  this  being  the  main 

of  the  System  of  Railroads  in 
nited  States,  from  which  extend 


Branches  reaching  every  part  of  our 
extended  country. 

The  construction  of  the  Koad  was 
coinnionccd  in  iJecenilier,  1SG3;  but 
no  consitlerable  amount  of  work  was 
done  till  the  coniincncenient  of  1805, 
owing  to  the  difUctilties  that  arose  in 
the  location  of  the  Line.  In  18G5  over 
100  miles  were  graded  and  bridged, 
and  rails  laid  upon  40  miles.  In  1800, 
205  miles  of  Road  were  completed  ;  in 
1867,  245  miles;  in  1808,  350  ..liles. 
The  Road  was  completed  to  a  junction 
with  the  Central  Pacific  Railroad  of 
California  on  the  10th  of  May,  1869, 
■which  event  was  duly  celebrated  by 
tlie  united  Companies  at  Promontory, 
Utah.  The  last  tie  was  made  of  lau- 
rel wood,  finely  inlaid  with  gold  and 
silver,  while  the  spikes  were  composed 
of  precious  metals  and  iron. 

The  Route  for  the  eastern  portion  of 
the  Line,  starting  from  Omaha,  is  up 
the  Valley  of  the  Platte,  which  has  a 
courpe  nearly  due  east  from  the  base 
of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  Till  these 
are  reached,  this  Valley  presents,  pro- 
bably, the  most  favorable  Line  ever 
adopted  for  such  a  work  for  an  equal 
distance.  It  is  not  only  nearly  straight, 
but  its  slope  is  very  nearly  uniform 
towards  the  Missouri  River,  at  the 
rate  of  about  10  feet  to  the  mile.  The 
soil  on  the  greater  part  of  the  Line 
forms  an  admirable  road  lied,  while 
but  few  bridges  are  required  until  the 
North  Platte  is  reached. 

The  base  of  the  mountains  is  as- 
snmed  to  be  at  Chevenne,  Wyoming 
Territory,  516  miles  from  the  Missouri 
River.  This  point  is  elevated  0,040 
feet  above  the  sea,  and  5,074  feet  above 
Omaha.  From  Cheyenne  to  the  sum- 
mit of  the  mountains  at  Sherman, 
which  is  elevated  8,242  feet  aliove  the 
sea,  the  distance  is  32  miles.    The 


grades  for  reaching  this  summit  do 
not  exceed  80  feet  to  the  mile.  Tiie 
elevation  of  the  V!i.>it  plain  from  which 
the  Rocky  Mountains  rise  is  so  great 
that  these  summits,  when  they  are 
reached,  present  no  obstacles  so  formi- 
dable as  those  oflered  by  the  A  Ueghany 
ranges  to  several  Lines  of  Railroads 
which  cross  them  before  descendiug 
into  the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi. 

After  crossing  the  Eastern  Oresl  of 
the  mountains,  the  Line  traverses  an 
elevated  plateau  for  about  400  miles 
to  the  Western  Crest  of  the  mountains, 
which  forms  the  eastern  rim  of  the 
Salt  Lake  Basin,  and  which  has  an 
elevi.  on  of  7,500  feet  above  the  sea. 
Upon  this  elevated  table  is  a  succes- 
sion of  extensive  plains,  which  present 
great  facilities  for  the  construction  of 
the  Road.  From  Ogden,  westward, 
runs  the  Centrd,  Pacific  Railroad. 

St.  Paul  and  Slonx  Clij 

Railroad.— Tliis  Road  runs  south- 
west from  St.  Paul,  througli  the  Min- 
nesota Valley  to  Mankato,  and  Sioux 
City  on  the  Missouri  River,  a  distance 
of  276  miles,  where  it  connects  with 
the  (Sioux  City  and  Columbus  Branch 
of  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad,  now 
being  constru<!ted.  When  finished,  tliis 
Line  of  Road  in  connection  with  the 
Lake  Superior  and  Misfissipjn  Railroad, 
will  form  a  Railroad  Route  100  miles 
shorter  to  Duluth,  on  Lake  Superior, 
than  to  Chicago,  on  Lake  Michipn. 
This  is  one  of  the  roost  important  Lines 
of  Railroad  that  crosses  the  fertile 
State  of  Minnesota  on  account  of  its 
relations  with  the  Union  Pacific  Rail- 
road and  Lake  Superior.  Shipments 
can  be  made,  via  Lake,  River  and  Canal 
transjKirtation,  bv  this  Route,  to  Canada 
and  all  the  northcra  Bca-ports  of  the 
United  States.

HiSHippl  Rallruiul.— The  Line 

of  the  Luke  Sniierior  and  Mi.<iinMppi 
Railroad  runs  from  St.  I'aul,  the  haad 
of  navigation  on  the  Missisoippi  lliver, 
to  the  city  of  Diilutli,  al  the  head 
of  Lake  SuiK>rior,  a  distance  of  155 
miles,  with  branches  to  Minneaiwlis 
and  Stillwater.  Diiluth  is  at  the  ex- 
treme west  end  of  the  Lake  System  of  the 
Continent,  the  terminal  point  of  twelve 
hundred  miles  of  continuous  lake  navi- 
gation from  the  Atlantic  coast,  midway 
to  the  heart  of  the  Continent,  and  on 
the  completion  of  the  Northern  Pacific 
Railroad,  westward,  will  be  witliin  four 
days  of  the  Pacific  coast  by  rail,  and 
within  twenty  days  by  rail  and  water 
of  the  ports  of  China  and  Japan  ;  and 
the  territory  between  the  lakes  and  the 
Pacific  Ocean  will  soon  be  covered  by 
an  active  and  energetic  population, 
,  engaged  in  agriculture,  mining,  and 

K  '  manufactures,  whose  products  and  sup- 

plies will  come  and  go,  by  way  of  the 

II .  Lakes,  to  and  from  the  markets  of  the 

East  and  of  Europe, 

The  Lake  Superior  and  MissisKippi 
Railroad  connects  at  St.  Paul,  its  soutli- 
ern  terminus,  with  the  trade  of  the 
Mississippi  and  Minnesota  Rivers,  and 
with  all  the  long  Lines  of  Railroads 
now  pushing  rapidly  westward  to  peo- 
ple and  develop  the  entire  region  from 
Lake  Superior  to  the  Pacific  Ocean ; 
which,  within  the  limits  of  the  State 
of  Minnesota,  at  the  close  of  the  year 
1870,  foot  up  1,086  miles  in  operation, 
and  1,H33  miles  in  progress  of  construc- 
tion,— of  which  457  miles  will  be  com- 
pleted by  the  close  of  the  year  1871 ;  be- 
sides 1,500  miles  prqjerted,  which  will 
no  doubt  be  constructed  as  demanded 
by  the  development  of  the  State. 

As  is  well  understood,  the  course  of 
trade  is  by  way  of  Uie  shortest  and 


cheaj)cst  Route  to  niiirke;,  and  at  the 
princ'ijml  portion  of  the  trade  of  the 
territory  west  of  the  MissiHsiii|ii  Itiver 
must  go,  either  to  Lake  Miiliipui  or 
Luke  Superior,  it  only  reiiiainri  to  kIiow 
what  portions  of  country  are  nearer  to 
each,  to  indicate  the  urea  Iributary  and 
belonging  to  these  respective  Routes. 

The  distance  by  Rail  from  St.  Paul 
to  Chicago,  is  440' miles;  Duluth  155 
miles;  and  all  Southwestern  Minnesota 
and  Northwestern  lowi  wu'  reach  lake 
navigation  at  the  port  of  i>uluth  by 
shorter  Railroad  transit  thai  by  the 
head  of  Lake  Michigan,  ac  is  true 
also  of  a  vast  region  extendi  ,ig  to  the 
I'acilic  Ocean. 

This  circumstance  will  control  the 
course  of  trade,  since  the  commerce  of 
Lakes  Michigan  and  cjuperior,  when 
eastward  bound,  meets  in  Lake  Huron ; 
the  navigation  of  the  lakes  being  limi- 
ted by  t':.e  simultaneous  departure  of 
ice  fr',m  the  St.  Mary's  River  and  the 
Straits  of  Mackinaw.  Even  San  Fran- 
cisf  o  and  all  the  points  of  the  Union 
Pacific  Railroad  are  nearer  Lake  Su- 
perior at  the  harbor  of  Duluth,  than  to 
Lal^e  Michigan  at  Chicago. 

Ti:3  distance  from  San  Francisco  to 
Chicago,  via  Union  Pacific  Railroad, 
is  2,400  miles ;  to  Duluth  by  the  Sioux 
City  and  Lake  Superior  and  Missis- 
sippi Railroads,  connc-.ting  with  the 
above  Road,  is  2,300  miles,  making  a 
distance  in  favor  of  the  Minnesota 
port  of  100  Miles. 

The  rapidity  with  which  the  vast 
region  tributary  to  the  Lake  Superior 
and  Mississippi  Railroad,  and  to  Lake 
Superior,  will  be  settled  and  developed 
may  be  illustrated  by  the  progress  and 
development  of  the  State  of  Minne- 
sota. This  State  was  ailmitted  into  the 
Union  in  1858,  was  unconnected  with

These  results,  advancing  in  this 
large  ratio,  may  !«  taken  as  legiti- 
mately illustrating  the  future  progress 
in  settlement  and  production  of  the 
country  further  west  and  nortliwest; 
as  the  'development  of  the  same  follows 
the  construction  of  the  Lines  of  Rail- 
way now  projected  and  being  con- 
Btructed  over  this  region. 

The  oiiening  of  the  Lake  Suj«rior 
and  Mississippi  Railroad   having  its 
terminus  located  at  the  extreme  top  of 
the  Lake  System,  and  the  I'onstruction 
of  the  Northern  Pacific  Railroad  from 
the  same  lake  terminus,  westw.ard,  ah- 
Bures  the  transportation  of  emigrants 
from  Europe  bv  this  shortest,  cheapest, 
and  most  healthy  Route  to  Duluth  as 
the  great  distributing  point  for  the  en- 
tire Northwest.    These  emigrants  fol- 
lowing  the   Lines  of  the  Railroads 
stretching  out  to  the  Pacific,  cannot  be 
diverted  to  points  not  tributary  to  Lake 
Superior,  but  must  add  from  year  to 
year  to  the  vast  and  increasing  product 
flowing  and  to  flow  by  that  channel  to 
tht  eastern  markets;  and  the  time  ia 
not  far  distant  when    20,000,000  of 
people  will  oecupv  the  territory  tribu- 
tary to  Lake  Superior,— a  large  i>orlion 


of  whose  pro<lucts  and  wantfl  must  be 
transported  by  tliis  Route. 

To  Slim  iip'the  whole  matter:— Here 
is  a  territory,  comprising  portions  of 
■NVi.sconsin,  Minnesr-ta,  Iowa  and  Da- 
kota, rai)iilly  increasing  in  j^pulation, 
— tlie  present  grain  products  of  which 
ar«not  less  than  00,000,000  bushels,— a 
large  percentage  of  which  must  go  over 
the  Line  of  the  Lake  Superior  and 
Mississippi  Railroad,  and  all  of  which 
will  eventually  go  by  the  chain  of  the 
Great  Lakes  to  the  markets  of  the  East 
and  of  EuroiK-. 

In  estimating  the  value  of  the  Lake 
Superior  Route,  the  following  facte 
should  be  carefully  noted: — 

Fimt:  The  time  of  propellers  or 
sailing  ves-sels  from  Duluth  to  Lake 
Erie  ports,  is  frequently  less  from  two 
to  three  days  than  from  Chicago  or 
Milwaukee  to  the  same  points.  The 
movement  of  boats  against  the  winds, 
across  Lake  Michigan,  makes  this  dif- 
ference in  time  in  favor  of  the  boats 
that  follow  the  currente  to  the  head  of 
Lake  Superior. 

Second:  The  same  rates  on  produce 
are  got  from  Duluth  to  point*  above 
namcil  as  from  Chicago  to  Milwaukee, 
while  a.s  thus  by  the  Lake  Sui)erior 
Route  the  Rail  distance  from  St.  Paul, 
or  average  point  of  production,  being 
some  300  miles  less,  the  through  rate 
is  necessiirily  considerably  lower  than 
the  Route  via  Lake  Michigan. 

These  facts  entirely  settle  the  ques- 
tion of  transportation,  and  makes  prom- 
inent the  superior  advantages  possee-sed 
by  the  lands  of  this  Company  over 
those  situated  further  westward,  as  the 
vnliie  of  land  dejiends  not  so  much  on 
tiie  quality  of  the  soil  as  on  the  facili- 
ties and  cheapness  with  which  the  va- 
rious products  can  be  transported  to 
market.

The  Land  Grant  of  the  Company 
comprises  nearly  i,(UU,000  acres  of 
land,  portions  of  which  are  covered 
with  Pine  and  other  valuable  timber, 
and  interspersed  with  prairie  and  na- 
tural meadows  or  grazing  lands,  and 
many  contain  deposits  of  valuable 
minerals;  while  at  numerous  points 
there  is  abundance  of  water-power  for 
manufacturing  purposta. 

The  Pine  lands  will  prove  a  source 
of  large  revenue  to  the  Koad,  not  only 
from  receipts  from  ritumpage,  but  from 
the  transportation  of  manufacturer's 
lumber  and  supplies,  and  from  the 
travel  necessarily  arising  from  the  lo- 
cation of  the  mills  engaged  in  the  busi- 
ness. Liberal  indueemeiitu  are  offered 
by  the  Company  to  parties  desiring  to 
engage  in  the  lumber  business  on  the 
Line  of  the  Road,  and  every  facility 
will  be  aflbrded  to  make  the  business 
both  permanent  and  profitable. 

The  hard  wood  and  prairie  lands  of 
the  Company  are  equal  to  any  in  the 
northwest  for  the  production  of  wheat, 
rye,  oats  and  other  grains,  and  all  kinds 
of  vegetables  yield  large  crops,  through- 
out this  entire  region. 

The  meadow  lands  are  for  stock 
raising  the  most  valuable  in  the  State, 
and  require  but  a  small  amount  of 
drainage  to  render  them  of  permanent 
value.  These  meadows  produce  from 
2  to  3}  tons  per  acre  of  the  most  nu- 
tritious grasses,  on  which  cattle  will 
thrive  during  the  entire  winter  without 
grain;  while  from  numerous  lakes  :ind

St.  Paul  niHl  Pacific  Rail- 
road, consolidated  with  the  Korth- 
KKN  Pacific  Kaileoad,  November 
25,  1870,  consists  of  two  divisions,— 
the  Main  Line,  or  First  Division  ex- 
tends from  »St.  Paul  to  Breckinridge, 
Minnesota,  216  miles,  with  the  riglit 
to  extend  the  Line  from  Breckinridge, 
on  the  Ited  liiver  of  the  Korth,  to  the 
boundary  line  between  the  United 
States  and  British  America. 

The  Second  Division  extends  from 
St.  Paul  to  Watab,  Minnesoi:!,  a  dis- 
tance of  80  miles,  and  will  extend 
northwesterly  on  the  west  side  of  the 
Mississippi  Kiver,  connecting  with  the 
Main  Line  of  the  Northern  P.icific 
Eiiilroad  west  of  Crow  Wing,  and  ex- 
tend on  tc  the  British  border  at  Pem- 
bina, on  the  Ked  River,  to  the  49th 
parallel  of  latitude,— thus  securing  the 
carrying  trade  of  British  Anierira. 

The  purchased  Lines  have  liberal 
land  grants  through  the  richest  parts 
of  Minnesota,  which  accrue  to  the 
Northern  Pacific  Kailroatl  Company, 
and  the  completion  of  all  the  Lines 
will  give  the  Northern  Pacific  Com- 
l)any  nearly  nine  himdred  milea  of 
lluad  in  the  State. 

Trortlicrn  Pacific  Bail- 
road.— The  Act  of  Congress  dona- 
ting lands  for  this  Road,  prescribes  that 
it  shall  be  laid  north  of  the  45th  par- 
allel  of  north  latitude.  Its  termini 
are  at  Duluth,  Minnesota,  at  the 
head  of  Lake  Superior,  and  a  point, 
not  yet  designated,  on  Pnget  Sound, 
with'  a  Branch  Road  terminating  at 
Portland,  Oregon.  The  charter,  as 
amended,  authorizes  the  Company  to 
construct  a  Branch  Road,  starting  from 
"some  convenient  point"  on  the  Trunk 
Line,  across  tlie  Rocky  Mountains,  to 
Portland,  and  a  Branch  from  Portland, 


northward,  to  the  terminus  on  Pnget 
Sound.  These  two  Branch  Roads  are 
given  (by  amended  charter)  the  same 
proportionate  land  grant  as  the  Main 
Line,  namely,  2o,(>00  acres,  per  lineal 
mile  of  Road,  through  the  Territories, 
and  12,800  acres,  per  lineal  mile, 
through  the  organized  States.  The 
Main  Branch  Road  will  leavethe  Trunk 
Line  somewhere  near  the  junction  of 
the  Yellow  Stone  and  Missouri  Rivers, 
following  up  the  valley  of  the  former 
stream,  through  Deer  Lodge  Pass,  and 
then  down  the  Snake  and  Columbia 
Rivers  to  Portland,  Oregon. 

Estimated  length  ol  Main  Line, 
connecting  the  navigation  of  the  Great 
Lakes  wifli  the  commerce  of  the  Pa- 
cific Ocean,  1,775  miles;  probable 
length  of  Trunk  Line  and  Branches, 
2,300  miles.  The  total  amount  of  land 
to  whicli  the  Northern  Pacific  Rail- 
road is  entitled,  by  its  grant,  is  about 
gixly  million  aaes,  almost  entirely  ferti  le, 
with  a  salubrious  climate,  being  capa- 
ble of  sustaining  a  dense  population. 
The  Winter  months  are  comparatively 
mild,  with  but  a  small  fall  of  snow, 
while  the  Summer  months  are  warm 
and  favorable  for  the  growth  of  the 
cereals,  grasses,  and  vegetables  of  al- 
most every  variety. 

"  The  lands  are  within  the  parallels 
of  latitude  which  in  Europe  and  Asia 
embrace  the  most  enlightened,  crea- 
tive, conquering  and  progressive  popu- 
lations. They  lie  within  the  climatic 
conditions  of  the  isothermal  lines  of 
mean  aminal  temjerature,  (50°  to  52° 
Fahr.,)  which  mark  on  the  Pacific 
Const  in  latitude  47°  north  the  mil  '- 
ness  of  the  climate  of  the  Chesapeake 
Bav,  on  the  Atlantic  side  in  lati- 
tude 38°,  and  which  give  to  the  re- 
gion of  this  Railroad  between  the  Red 
River  of  the  North  and  the  Pacific  a

tude) than  is  to  bo  found  anywhere 
else  at  the  same  distance  from  the 
E(iuator,  except  Uiion  the  western 
coaHt  of  Europe." 

By  the  purchase  of  the  St.  Paul  and 
Pacific  Railroad,  the  Northern  Pacific 
Railroad  controls  the  entire  Kiiilroad 
traflic  in  the  "New  Northwest,"  and 
connects  with  the  Railways  of  Wiscon- 
sin  and  Illinois,  as  well  with  the  navi- 
gable waters  of  the  Mississippi  River 
and  Lake  Superior. 

The  work  was  beRim  in  Julv,  1870, 
on  tiie  eastern  portion  of  the  Line,  and 
the  money  provided,  by  the  sale  to 
Blocklioldera  of  some  six  millions  of 


the  Company's  bonds,  to  build  and 
equip  the  Road  from  Lake  Sujwrior 
across  Minnesota  to  the  Red  River  of 
the  North,  %Vi  miles.  The  grading 
on  this  division  is  now  well  advancetl, 
the  iron  is  being  rapidly  laid ;  several 
tiiousand  men  are  at  work  on  the  Line, 
and  about  the  first  of  August  next  this 
irai)ortant  section  of  the  RortU  vill  be 
in  full  operation.  In  the  meantime 
orders  have  been  sent  to  the  Pacific 
coast  for  the  commencement  of  the  vork 
on  the  western  end  in  early  Spring  of 
1871,  and  thereafter  the  work  will  be 
pushed,  both  eastward  and  westward, 
with  as  much  speed  .as  may  be  consis- 
tent with  solidity  and  a  wise  economy.

Projected  Railroad  from 
Cheyenne  to  Helena,  Montana. — 
The  Union  Pacific  Railboad  and  the 
Denver  Pacific  Railkoap,  uniting 
at  Cheyenne,  Wyoming  Territory,  has 
induced  the  inhabitants  of  this  new 
territory  to  look  toward  the  north  with 
the  view  of  constructiiif?  an  important 
Line  of  Railroad,  the  extreme  northern 
terminus  being  Helena,  Montana. 

"  The  object  is  pri  marily  to  develop  a 
wonderfully  rich  section  of  unoccupied 
country,  and  afterwards  to  give  Chey- 
enne a  connection  with  the  Northern 
Pacific    Railroad,   rapidly   stretchinK 
away  from   Diduth  on  the   East  and 
creeping  out  from  Olympia  at  the  Went. 
The   project   exhibits   the   entcrprii^e 
and  wisdom  of   the    inhabitants    of 
Cheyenne,  who,  in  this  instance,  find 
their  greatest  good  in  assisting  to  de- 
velop the  country  tributary  to  them. 
This  Indian  named  town  is  directly 
connected  with  St.  Louis  by  the  Kan- 
sas Pacific  and  Denver   Pacific  Rail- 
roads.   The  Montana  Railroad  scheme 
which  is  now  agitating  its  citizens,  pro- 
mises abundantly,  and  there  is  no  rea- 
son, apparently,  why  the  anticipations 
of  its  projectors  should  not  be  fulfilled. 
The  proposed  Route  from  Cheyenne — 
and  here  our  readers  are  requested  to 
consult  their  atlases — would  extend  up 
the  Valley  of  the  Crow  Creek  to  the 
biise  of  the  Black  Hills,  then  turning 
northward    pass    along    the    parallel 
Valley  that  seems  designed  by  nature 
for  a' Railroad  to  the  Chug  Valley; 
thence  down  this  Valley  to  some  point 
near  its  junction  with  tlie  Big  Laramie, 
thence  across  the  plains  to  the  Valley  of 
the  Nortli  Platte,  and  nj)  that  stream  to 
the   Red  Buttes.     From  this  noint  it 
will  not  be  difficult,  it  is  claimed,  to  find 
an  easy  Bo\ite  across  the  eastern  base  of 
the  Big  Horn  Muuntaiua,  when  it  will 


pass  through  some  of  the  most  fertile 
and  attractive  Valleys  of  the  West. 
The  Line  should  then  skirt  the  base  of 
the  mountains  and  extend  to  son'C 
point  on  the  Yellowstone  near  the 
mouth  of  the  Big  Horn  River.  The 
principal  obstacles  are  here  passed, 
and  the  connection  with  the  Main 
Branch  of  the  Northern  Pacific  will  be 
determined  without  difficulty. 

Suc'i  a  Road,  we  arc  informed,  would 
open  \\j  to  settlement  a  vast  extent  of 
comitry  similar   in  many  respects  to 
the  best  portionr  of  Colorado,  and  a 
section  containing  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands of  acres  of  unclaimed  land  of 
the  greatest  fertility.    The  climate  is 
so  mild,  and  the  season  so  delightful, 
that  ready  credence  is  given   to  the 
statement  of  the  resident  Indians,  who 
afiirm  that  the  Great  Spirit  gave  them 
this  tract,  the  best  and  richest  of  his 
possessions,  because  they  are  a  favored 
people.     Cattle  need  no  other  shelter 
in  Winter  than  the  deep  valleys  aflbrd. 
Iron  and  copper  and  magnetic  ores 
abound  in  the  mountains,  and  undis- 
covered   minerals    enrich   the    earth. 
Colonization  schemes  will  be  employed 
to  rapidly   jjopulate  the  region,  and 
hasten  the  development  of  its  wealth." 

Southern    Paelflc  ^Bnll- 

road.  — This  projected  Railroad, 
chartered  by  the  State  of  Texas,  July 
27, 1870,  to  "  Inctrrporate  the  Southern 
Trascontinental  Railroad  Co'.- 
PANV,"  with  a  capital  of  $30,000,000, 
will  commence  at  the  eastern  boundary 
of  Texas,  and  extend  westward  to  it 
rn«o,  on  the  Rio  Grande,  with  n  privi- 
lege to  construct  Praiuli  Rcinds,  con- 
necting with  the  great  Railroads  termi- 
nating on  the  sea-board.  The  Com- 
l>anv  is  also  authorised  to  jinrchasc 
the  rights,  franchises  and  property  of

ACBOSS  THE  CONTINENT. 


the  MeinptuH  and  El  Paso  Pacific  Rail- 
road Company,  and  i  if  any  other  Com- 
pany, incoriwrated  by  any  other  State, 
or  by  the  United  States  or  any  Terri- 
tory, so  that  it  may  have  a  complete 
and  continuous  connection  from  the 
Atlantic  to  the  Pacific  Ocean. 

"All  the  other  Pacific  Lines  are  in 
the  hands  of  Northern  and  Western 
men,  and  are  operated  almost  exclu- 
sively in  the  interest  of  the  North  and 
West.  But  here  is  one  entirely  South- 
ern, extending,  by  its  amended  charter, 
from  Memphis,  Tennessee,  to  Little 
Bock,  Arkansas;  thence  to  Jefferson, 
Texas,  and  thence  along  the  Koute 
above  designated  to  the  town  and  bay 
of  San  Diego.  The  Transcontinental 
Onmpany  is  already  organized  under 
a  State  charter,  granted  by  the  Legisla- 
ture of  Texas,  and  will  soon  begin 
practical  operations  through  that  par- 


tially undeveloped  empire  Common- 
wealth. The  Texas  Branch  is  about 
800  miles  in  length.  The  Company's 
franchise  over  this  enormous  distance 
is  wholly  distinct  from  that  of  Con- 
gress, though  additional  or  precedent 
thereto.  It  is  impossible  to  over-esti- 
mate or  even  to  describe  the  advan- 
tages of  this  Transcontinental  Bail- 
road,  politically,  commercially,  and 
financially.  Traversing  the  moderate 
zone,  where  winter  is  almost  unknown, 
it  will  open  up  what  many  claim  to 
be  the  richest  region  of  our  country, 
and  what  all  concede  to  be  the  most 
magnificent  cotton  field  in  the  world. 
Its  wealth  in  minerals  and  agriculture; 
its  neighborhood  to  Mexico,  soon  to 
be  revolutionized  by  the  arts  of  peace; 
its  easier  and  short  access  to  the  two 
Oceans,  will  speedily  arouse  a  univer- 
sal interest  in  ita  behalf."

BUEIilNQTOH   RAILROAD   ROUTE. 


THE  BURLINGTON  &  MISSOURI  RIVER  RAILROAD, 

StartinR  from  Runi.iNfiTON,  Iowa,  is  a  tree  wlioso  trunk  forks  into  three 
branches,  for  it  lias  three  Western  termini,  each  one  of  which  is  tlu;  represen- 
tative of  a  distinctive  class  of  Husincss,  or  seiiarate  class  of  Travel.  Ita  iirst 
terminus  is  at 

COUHCiL  BLLiFffS,  OR  OMMIA, 

where  it  connects  with  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad,  for  all  points  on  the  Pacific 
Rowls  and  Pacific  Coast,  and  it  is  now  generally  conceded  that  this  is  the 
best  Boute  to  these  points.    Its  next  terminus  is  at 

LX3srooxj3sr, 

the  capital  of  Nebraska,  fifty-five  miles  West  of  the  Missouri  River,  (crossing 
the  River  at  Plattsmouth,)  opening  up  a  rich  country  lyiiif; South  of  the  1  latte, 
where  half  a  lulUion  dollars  worth  of  Railroad  Lands  were  sold  last  sunuuer, 
and  being  indeed  the  only  Direct  Route  thereto.    Its  third  terminus  la  at 

HAMBUHG  AND  NEBBASHA  CfTV. 

At  Hamburg,  its  Passenger  Trains,  (two  each  way,  daily,)  make  close  connec- 
tions with  the  trains  of  tho 

KpSAS  Cin    ?"  COUNCIL  BLUFFS  RAILROi^D, 

for  St.  Joseph,  Leavenworth,  Kansas  City,  and  all  points  in  the  Territonea. 
In  this  regard  it  may  be  truly  said  thai  the  passenger  travelling  from  the  Last 
to  Kansas,  via  Burlington,  obtains  advantages  that  he  can  find  on  no  other  I.ine, 
for  he  not  only  travels  over  a  First-Class  Road,  splendi.Uy  equipped,  where 
he  is  sure  of  safety  and  comfort  while  en  raute  to  his  destination,  but  he  has  an 
opportunity  of  viewing  the  richest  portions  of  Illinois  and  Missouri,  as  well 
as  several  hundred  thousand  acres  of  Railroad  Land  in  Southwestern  Iowa,  just 
now  coming  into  market  at  low  pficcs  and  long  credit.

SOUTH     PACIFIC     BAILBOAD. 


The  State  of  Missouri,  more  than  any  other  in  the  Union,  contains  the  ma- 
terials that  constitute  wealth.  It  is  one-and-a-half  times  the  size  of  the 
State  of  New  York,  and  more  than  eiglit  times  that  of  Massachusetts.  It  is  in 
the  centre  of  the  Mississippi  Valley,  near  the  heart  of  the  Continent,  and  iU 
metropolis,  St.  Louis,  naturally,  the  half-way  station  between  the  Oceans. 

The  Climate  is  the  golden  mean  of  the  Temperate  Zone ;  ita  salubrity  is  pro- 
verbial— especially  in  the  centre  and  southwestern  portions— where  the  elevation 
above  the  ocean  produces  all  the  vitality  of  a  more  Northern  latitude,  while 
none  of  the  Southern  advantages  are  lost.  Consumption  and  asthmatic  com- 
plaints seldom  cr  never  originate  here,  but  are  often  cured  by  this  climate. 

The  Easterly  portions  of  the  State,  through  which  the  Railroad  passes, 
including  the  Ozark  range  of  hills,  is  broken,  but  of  good  soil,  and  has  many 
excellent  farms  in  the  valleys,  with  extensive  ranges  for  flocks  and  herds  upon 
the  higher  land.  This  extends  qyer  100  miles  from  St.  Louis,  when  small 
prairies  and  a  smoother  country  begin  to  appear. 

The  Central  and  Southwestern  portion  of  the  State,  extending  about  150 
miles,  easterly  and  westerly,  ci-unot  be  excelled  in  beauty  and  fertility.    The

h  which  the  Bailroad  passes, 
)ut  of  good  soil,  and  has  many 
mges  for  flocks  and  herds  upon 
es  from  St.  Louis,  when  small 

he  State,  extending  about  150 
d  in  beauty  and  fertility.    The 


dead  level  of  trackless  prairies  is  not  found  here,  nor  stagnant  creeks  and 
muddy  pools.  Instead  of  these  are  hill  and  dale  and  rolling  prairies,  frequent 
streams,  and  rapidly  running  water,  over  rocky  bottoms,  with  numerous  water- 
falls and  springs  of  clear,  pure  water. 

The  principal  productions  are  corn,  wheat,  rye,  barley,  oats,  flax,  hemp, 
sorghum,  tobacco,  cotton,  vegetables,  and  an  abundance  of  all  kinds  of  fruit. 

The  Southwestern  portion  of  the  State,  with  its  mild  Winters,  late  Falls,  and 
early  Springs,  is  peculiarly  adapted  to  Stock-Raising  of  all  kinds ;  blue  grass 
grows  spontaneously,  and  all  tame  grasses  rapidly,  and  in  abundance.  By  the 
aid  of  the  Eailroad,  cattle  in  the  Western  counties  are  now  worth  within  four 
dollars  a  head  of  what  they  are  worth  in  St.  Louis. 

The  production  of  wool  is  large,  and  increasing  with  marked  rapidity. 
Woolen  factories  would  be  a  profitable  investment  upon  the  water  powers  now 
unoccupied. 

Missouri  can  challen'^e  the  World  in  variety,  value,  and  extent  of  mineral 
wealth.  A  long  catalogue  would  alone  suffice  to  enumerate  the  different  metals. 
They  pervade  more  or  less  the  whole  State. 

Timber  is  abundant,  and  so  accessible  as  not  to  be  extremely  costly  at 
any  point. 

As  to  Schools,  few  States  are  more  awake  than  Missouri,  and  none  mora 
am;;>ly  supplied  with  pecuniary  provisions.

With  thesame  entire  confidence  with 
which  we  commended  Government 
Bonds  to  Capitaliste  and  People,  we 
now,  after  the  fullest  investigation, 
recommend  these  Northern  Paoiflo 
Railroad  Bonds  to  our  friends  and 
the  general  public. 

GOLD  PAYMENT.— Both  prin- 
cipal and  interest  are  payable  in 
American  gold  coin,  at  the  office  of 
Jay  Cooke  &  Co.,  New  York  City,— 
the  principal  at  the  end  of  30  years, 
and  the  interest  (at  the  rate  of  seven 


and  three-tenths  per  cent,  per  annum) 
half-yearly,  first  of  January  and  July. 

PERFECT  SAFETY.— The  Bonds 
we  are  now  selling,  are  secured  by  a 
first  »^d  only  mortgage  on  all  the 
property  and  rights  of  the  Northern 
Pacific  Bailroad  Company,  which  will 
embrace  on  the  completion  of  the 
work : — 

1.  Over  Two  Thousand  Miles  of 
Road,  with  rolling  stock,  buildings, 
and  all  other  equipments. 

141 


2.  Over  Twenty-two  Thourand 
Acres  of  Land  to  every  mile  of  fin- 
ished road.  Tliia  land, — agricultural, 
timbered  and  mineral, — amounting  in 
all  to  more  tlian  Fifty  Million  Acres, 
consistfl  of  alternate  sections,  reaching 
twenty  to  forty  miles  on  each  side  of 
the  Track,  and  extending  in  a  broad 
fertile  belt  from  Wisconsin  through 
the  richest  portions  of  Minnesota, 
Dakota,  Montana,  Idaho,  Oregon  and 
Washington,  to  Paget  Sound. 

While  the  Government  does  not 
directly  guarantee  the  Bonds  of  the 
Boad,  it  thus  amply  provides  for  their 
full  and  prompt  payment  by  an  un- 
reserved grant  of  land,  the  most  valu- 
able ever  conferred  upon  a  great 
National  improvement. 

THE  MORTGAGE.— The  Trustees 
under  the  Mortgage,  are  Messrs.  Jay 
Cooke  of  Philadelphia,  and  .T.  Edgar 
Thompson,  President  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Central  Eailroad  Company. 
They  will  directly  and  permai.;ntly 
represent  the  interests  of  the  First 
Mortgage  bond-holders,  and  are  re- 
quired to  see  that  the  proeeedt  of  land 
aulvx  are  used  in  purchasing  and  eaneel- 
ling  the  Bond*  of  the  Company,  if  they 
can  be  bought  before  maturity  at  not 
more  than  10  per  cent,  premium; 
otherwise  the  Trustees  are  to  invest 
the  proceeds  of  land  sales  in  United 
States  Bonds  or  Real  Estate  Mortga- 
ges for  further  security  of  Northern 
Pacific  bond-holders.  Also,  that  they 
have  at  all  times  in  their  control,  as 
security,  at  least  500  acres  of  average 
li2 


land  to  every  $1,000  of  outstanding 
Firxt  Mortgage  Bonds,  besides  the  Kail- 
rood  itself,  and  all  its  equipments  and 
franchises. 

PROFITABLENESS.— Of  course 
nothing  can  be  safer  than  the  Bonds  of 
the  United  States,  but  as  the  Govern- 
ment is  DO  longer  a  borrower,  and  as 
the  Nation's  present  work  is  not  that 
of  preserving  its  existence,  but  that 

of    DEVELOPINO      A     CONTINENT,    we 

remind  those  who  desire  to  increase 
their  income  and  obtain  a  more  .  per-

Minnesota  to  the  Red  River  of  the 
North— 233  miles.  The  grading  on 
this  division  is  now  well  advanced,

Koud  will  be  in  full  operation.  In  the 
meantime,  orders  have  been  sent  to 
the  Pacific  coast  for  the  commencement 
of  the  work  on  the  western  end,  in 
early  spring,  and  thereafter  the  work 
will  be  pushed,  both  eastward  and 
westward,  with  as  much  speed  as  may 
be  consistent  with  solidity  aud  a  wise 
economy. 

RECEIVABLE    FOR   LANDS.— 

These  Bonds  will  be  at  all  times  re- 
ceivable, at  1.10,  in  payment  for  the 
Company's  lands,  at  their  lowest  cash 
price.

pons for  registered,  and  botli  tliece  can

cipal financial  centres  of  Euro|)e,  in 
the  coin  of  the  various  European 
countries.

Bonds,  directly  to  ua  by  express,  and 
we  will  send  back  Northern  Pacific 
Bonds  at  our  own  risk,  and  without
